Airguns on TV

[trevor1]

Just noticed a HW35 is used to stop Father Jack in his tracks in an episode of "Father Ted". Followed by "Ther Good life"(for the thousandth time)with Richard Briers threatening a chook with his Webley Premier!
On another night,in "Blandings",a Daisy without a BB barrel is used to inflict pain on unsuspecting chaps! In The Wodehouse Playhouse version of the same 1920's"pig" story,a BSA Cadet was used.

Webley Hawk Mk1 used in Trainspotting to shoot a bull terrier in the nads.
BSA Meteor in Kes
BSA underlever in 1970's kids' TV series Just William.
There must be loads more.

Chris Barrie used a BSA Superstar to demonstrate the difference in hitting power between light and heavy projectiles.
It was in an episode of his "Massive Machines" series about tanks

I recall seeing a Webley Junior air pistol being used as a tranquiliser gun in an episode of the 6 Million Dollar Man and a GAMO Paratrooper/Expomatic in a low budget cannibal film, whose name escapes me.

It may be my memory, but sure it was a grey Original 5 in "the Prisoner", "Schizoid man"??? I hope this link works and one of them looks grey. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2...66kho1_500.gif
I think one was used in the Avengers episode "From Venus with love"

Ps---to save starting a new thread. Has anyone got a spare set of clamps for a pistol scope? Thanks

I seem to remember Model 5 pistol or similar used with darts in an episode of Bergerac.

I remember that episode of blandings, it did make the boy and myself laugh, I expected a torrent of complaints regarding gun safety though
